Sydney SciCoder workshop

September 7, 2018

The ASA ECR Chapter is pleased to announce a series of SciCoder workshops — “SciCoder: The Australian Tour presented by ASTRO 3D” — across Australia, enabled by ASTRO 3D and ADACS. SciCoder is created and taught by Dr. Demitri Muna who has been offering these workshops since 2010. The workshops are designed to introduce the early-career researcher to modern programming practices, languages, and tools as specifically applicable to scientific research. These skills will enable the participant to write better code, code faster, and leverage more tools than scientists are typically introduced to or aware of. An emphasis is placed on the rich variety of open-source software available. The dates and locations for the “SciCoder: The Australian Tour presented by ASTRO 3D” workshops are:

Oct 15 – Oct 19: Brisbane (cancelled)

Oct 29 – Nov 2: Perth

Nov 19 – Nov 23: Melbourne

Dec 3 – Dec 7: Sydney

Topics Covered

PROGRAMMING TOOLS — Introduction to Python, learn how to make code reusable by creating your own Python modules, transitioning to Python 3.

CODE MANAGEMENT — Introduction to Git, using GitHub, learn how to contribute code to community projects like Astropy.
